Gary Oldman Disappeared Into His Greatest Role in This 86% RT War Drama

Gary Oldman won his first Oscar in 2016 for his portrayal of Winston Churchill, a famously powerful and debated historical figure. In the film Darkest Hour, directed by Joe Wright, Oldman completely embodied Churchill, delivering a performance so convincing that it was often difficult to distinguish between the actor and the man himself. Many viewers remember being captivated by moments like Churchill’s forceful line, “Will you stop interrupting me when I am interrupting you?” Oldman’s performance was truly transformative; he masterfully captured Churchill’s mannerisms, voice, personality, humor, and understanding of British politics, effectively becoming the wartime prime minister.
